Challenges were first teased back at the start of the year with the 2022 season stream, although we didn’t receive many details on the feature aside from a vague description of what it was. These challenges are intended to provide additional goals to the game, achievable through a variety of game modes and objectives. Some of them are obtainable in games, while other require some out of game cosmetic collecting on your part. A small sampling of incoming challenges have been released ahead of the feature hitting the game next month, which can be found below:
Pop Goes the Poro: Cause a Poro to explode in ARAM and earn the title “Poroyalty” Give ‘em Shell, Shelly: Take Turrets with Rift Herald (aka Shelly) Icon of the Rift: Obtain 100 Summoner Icons and you can become “Iconic” Stacks on Stacks on Stacks: Fully stack Mejai’s Soulstealer before 20 minutes Superior Supporting: Finish your support quest faster than the opponents Nashor Slayer: Kill Baron Nashor solo and you can be the “Baron” Aggressive Positioning: Get multikills after flashing toward an enemy and rock the “Flashy” title Solo Carry: Deal 40%+ of your team’s champion damage in an ARAM
You’ll see titles mentioned a few times there, these are the rewards you can expect from completing challenges and will provide an additional bit of profile customisation aside from loading screen banners and emotes. Personally, I really like this addition. Playing League of Legends for a while, it can feel like you’re stuck without much reason to experiment with other champions outside of your typical pool. With these, there’ll be opportunities to have a bit of fun and go into games with a plan in mind aside from just winning. That being said, I do hope these are disabled in ranked modes. Look, I know there’s no harm in taking turrets with rift herald, but I’d appreciate it if I didn’t lose a promotional match to a vayne flashing towards the enemy team, or a 0/4 fiddlesticks trying to max stack a mejais. For now, we can only cross our fingers and hope!
